Description
TRANSPORT IN GRASS SWALES. Yukio Nara and Robert E. Pitt, Dept. of Civil and Env. Eng., Univ. of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL 35487. I am conducting research in investigating the effectiveness of grass swales for sediment transport. Grass swales are vegetated open channels where collected stormwater runoff flows through. They are often used as an alternative to a concrete gutter for stormwater management because of their advantages of infiltration and filtration of stormwater. The aim of research is to understand the effects of different variables. The variables are slope, grass types, time interval, depth of flow, and length of swales. To analyze the variables, solutions with known concentrations of sands and fine particles of Aluminum Oxides are pumped onto inclined grass swales in different conditions for each variable. 108 samples were collected and analyzed by turbidity, total solids, and particle size distribution analysis to investigate the effects of the variables.
